re: Watch Service - How Often and Where?

The jeweler near me that I have used (former authirized dealer when I first went) basically told me to bring it in when I noticed it wasn't keeping time well. After 7+ years of daily wear, I dropped it and the seconds hand came loose. They did a full service when fixing that. Was $700. No way I'm doing that yearly. The yearly recommendation is like recommending your oil get changed weekly.
